“It had a lot of moisture to work with from the gulf. That cold front that came through yesterday left an unstable atmosphere,” said Baskin. “The front kind of laid on top of us.”

He said low-pressure system was continuing to move east and was expected to take the moisture with it, leaving the area dry Tuesday and Wednesday.

The rain moved into the area around 7 p.m., and three hours later officials closed off parts of Braun Road near Loop 1604. Also, a stretch of FM 1560 was partially shut down from Culebra to Bandera roads.

Bexar County deputies detained a woman who drove around the barricades near Loop 1604 and Braun Road, but she wasn't arrested.

She may still face charges, police said.

The severe thunderstorm warning in the San Antonio area was lifted at 9:30 p.m.

Expect cold, windy weather and scattered showers Thursday, though.

“It's spring weather,” said Baskin. “Let's put it that way.”

Rainfall totals varied widely across the region. Officials said the Helotes area could have received up to five inches of rain from the storm, but the official rainfall reading at San Antonio International Airport was less than half an inch.
